The main Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson is finished. The main sequence of novels was completed with the publication of A Memory of Light in 2013. There are no current plans to add to the main series of novels, so readers can know exactly where to start their epic adventure which includes a wealth of magic and amazing character relationships. Recently finished paranormal romance The Witch and Her Wolf Series was another great read, completed in the central plot of a witch’s sworn oath to protect her guardian in a unique loyalty vs. duty storyline.

The basic story of this very long and very deep story was completed. It is one of those very long epic fantasy novels that reads like a lifelong journey, and it is also one of those stories that many people wish would continue on in some form, but alas it has reached its end. The original author Robert Jordan wrote 12 of the 14 main books, and was finished off by fantasy author Brandon Sanderson for the final two books. The last book in the series, A Memory of Light, was released in 2013, and after that the story was complete. Unfortunately, that means there are no more new main story novels by this author, but at least the story has been brought to a close and completed to the author’s satisfaction. In the meantime, there are prequels such as New Spring that explore the backstory of the main events, and it is hoped that more will be written to continue to expand on this author’s original work.

'Wheel of Time' is another favorite series of mine. The original 14 book series has been completed by Robert Jordan and then finished off by Brandon Sanderson after Jordan's passing. The final book, 'A Memory of Light' was published in 2013 and brought closure to most of the main story lines.

There is also a prequel, New Spring, written by Robert Jordan. This book stands on its own and follows Moiraine and Lan on a mission many years before the main story of the Wheel of Time. Amazon is currently producing a television series based on the book, and it is generating a lot of interest from fans of the series. However, there are currently no plans for any new books in the Wheel of Time series. There are, however, a number of companion books and encyclopedias to the series that offer more in depth exploration of the world and its lore.

More stories set in the Wheel of Time world would be wonderful but the main story has been completed and the ending was epic, emotional and so worth the wait for it.

When thinking of long fantasy series, The Wheel of Time often comes to mind. The main story of Wheel of Time was completed with the 14 books covering the story line, culminating with ‘A Memory of Light’ in 2013. The ending was planned by the original author Robert Jordan, and Robert Jordan’s protégé Brandon Sanderson continued it to a fantastic completion.

Note that while there is a single prequel novel ‘New Spring’, written by Robert Jordan, this is the only additional material outside of the 14 main books. Of course, there has been recent TV adaptation and this has generated much discussion regarding potential further ‘added value’ stories. In reality, however, the books currently stand as a complete work in their own right. A wonderful and satisfying finale was provided for long time fans of the series and if you are just starting to read it now then you are reading it all at once without the long waits between releases for individual books that previous fans had to endure.

The Wheel of Time is done. It is a complete story, The Pattern is whole. All the ta’veren have played their part in the story and now the books are on the shelf. The ending has been written and although there will always be debate about things like who Nakomi really was and what the Pipe really meant, the plot is done. It is a finished tapestry and we can now stand back and look at the whole picture arguing about the smallest details instead of staring at an half-finished loom wondering if the weaver ever came back.

How long is each book in the Wheel of Time series?

What rewarded patience throughout the entire series were the long, seemingly dull chapters in the middle books of the series. What were initially boring would develop into insightful moments with the characters oreven more in-depth world-building that would pay off in a huge way in later books. The length of these chapters allowed for such in-depth moments and it would be easy to miss out on many of the minute details if one were to skim throughout the book.

Is Blame! manga finished or ongoing?

3 Answers2026-06-23
‘Blame!’ finished years ago and its influence is widespread, notably in games such as ‘Sable’ and ‘Control’. Nihei’s dark, biomechanical and frequently smudged pen work makes each page a viewpoint into the ruins of a long dead civilization. The manga completing is actually a positive and that final shot of Killy walking away is more memorable than most series’ current cliffhangers. Existential science fiction of the highest order and if that’s your bag then ‘Blame!’ is a must-read.

Are there any new Shannara books coming out soon?

oh thank goodness I had this flash of hope that the answer to this question would be 'yes'. alas, after reading the thread, I am brought back to reality. I kind of knew this already though. part of me had held out for a secret announcement of new WSh books though. Oh well, I'll just have to be content with the memories of the book that most impacted me as a child - The Elfstones of Shannara (which still makes me cry). Does anyone know of any other books/series out there that have a similar 'classic quest' feel to them? I'm going to go do some browsing to try to find something to take the place of WSh in my life right now. Thanks for the reality check, everyone.

Does the Game of Thrones show cover all the books in the series?

I think one of the biggest mistakes the TV show made wasn’t just not including all of the books, but also not including the core theme of the books. George R.R. Martin wrote A Dance with Dragons as a way to explore what happens after the big battle in a story, after the hero has won the war. Again and again in the books, the story subverts familiar fantasy tropes about wonderful and honorable war. The final season of the TV show largely forgot this, and offered up a very familiar fantasy story of heroes and a last-minute ‘election’ of a king. In contrast, the books are trying to unpack the story that the TV show is packing.

Is Yakuza Fiance manga finished or ongoing?

READ FINISHED. The book was read by me and by other people in the reading club one volume at a time. There are no more chapters to read. It’s a really beautiful complete narrative loop that explores the theme of building family and ties back to the isolations of the two main characters at the start.

Is Made in Abyss manga finished or ongoing?

The serialization is still ongoing albeit slowly, and Creator Akihito Tsukushi is involved with the anime as well. However, the core of the work is the manga and it is continuing. We follow the main characters into the 7th Layer. This area is different from the adventures that occurred in the upper layers and is horror of a surreal genre. The rules established in the upper layers are being broken and are being transformed in unexpected ways. It’s both fascinating and scary to read. I’m reading the official versions of the manga, which have excellent translations and superior printing. The irregular serialization has taught me to appreciate each volume as a complete, self-contained work that can be read and even re-read and studied in detail.

As for the sheer number of pages, each book is long enough to be the backdrop to your life for a few months, and many memorable moments are tied to where you were when you read them because you spent so long there. I read 300 pages of ‘Brisingr’ while I was dying of the flu, for example. I read them in one day.

Is 'Overlord(ln)' finished or still ongoing?

11 Answers2025-06-17
Ongoing. Incredibly slow. It has been so long since the last volume (Vol.14) that Vol.15 came as a huge surprise to many. The author is involved in the anime adaptation as well as other projects. The light novels are the basis of the story and there is still so much to adapt. Some fear that the ending will be rushed in order to hit a certain volume number as there are so many factions and characters. Momonga’s journey from cautious guild master to feared sovereign is still being explored in depth, particularly the deep politics involved. The side stories are crucial as well to better understanding some of the characters, such as the rather long ‘Vampire Princess’ sidestory which almost forms a complete novel on its own. But that’s a commitment I can get behind. You’re not going to be able to read these on a certain release date or anything. It’s more of a wonderful surprise.

How many books are in The Last King series?

Note that The Last King series proper consists of five “official” books, but diehard fans like myself will tell you to read the companion short story “The Black Herald” between Book 4 and Book 5. It is the best way to experience the true development of the protagonist from a tough, rough-around-the-edges-outlaw-type to a noble, reluctant leader. And the last book’s cover art, with the broken-up crown, still sends shivers down my spine.

This is a digital library of 4 hard cover books. They are all available on my Kindle. Unfortunately, it was a real challenge to get these published as e-books several years ago. However, they are now once again available as e-books. Each of these lengthy novels is substantially longer than a light novel published in pamphlet form. And, although there are only 4 entries in this library, there is plenty of reading material here to fully immerse yourself in this extraordinary world.
